Sharing some of my older photos. Driving up a path above the Rio Grande Gorge, this bighorn sheep stopped to look at us as we stopped to look at the sunrise over the mountains

A barred owl flies out of frame. After sitting in the tree for ten minutes, it decided to fly to a new location.

In the midst of hundreds of crane, this is bound to happen.

Not the best quality picture due to the fact there were dozens of crane and a lot of space between me and the birds.

In the 1940s, there were less than 25 whooping crane left.

Due to conservation efforts, there ~800 today. It is always special to see them in the wild.

Shake it off.

While watching a couple of whooping cranes in the water, they kept dipping their beak and shaking it off rapidly.
